Credit for a course is indicated by the number or numbers in parentheses
following the course title. It may be expressed (3), (1-3), or (2 or 3).

A course with one quarter hour of credit (1) is the equivalent of one
recitation or two or more laboratory periods per week throughout a
quarter.

In a course carrying variable credit, the credit may be expressed (1-4,
max 8), indicating that one hour is the minimum and four hours the
maximum amount of credit allowed for the course in one quarter. However,
you may enroll in the course any number of times and for any number of
credit hours within the quarter limit, provided the total registration for
the course does not exceed the overall maximum.

Courses that satisfy one of the university General Education Tier I or Tier II requirements are indicated by a notation on the title line. Tier I courses are marked either (1E) for English composition or (1M) for quantitative skills; Tier II designations are (2A) applied sciences and technology, (2C) cross-cultural perspectives, (2H) humanities and fine arts, (2N) natural sciences and mathematics, and (2S) social sciences.

Courses that satisfy General Education Tier III requirements are grouped
under the heading Tier III.

Course prerequisites are indicated at the beginning of the course
description, following the abbreviation "Prereq." If you have any doubts
about whether you have fulfilled prerequisites due to changes in the
numbering system over the past several years, check the course titles and
consult with your advisor and the office of the dean. Even if you have not
met the prerequisites, you may add a course by obtaining the instructor's
permission. Once you have completed an advanced course, you may not
subsequently enroll in a prerequisite course for credit.

If a course is offered for other than the normal academic year of fall,
winter, and spring quarters, this fact is noted in parentheses after the
prerequisite. Such courses are offered only in the quarters specified.

Unless otherwise indicated in italics following the quarter specification
in the courses description, the course may be taught by any member of the
staff of the department. This course listing is verified as of May 1998.
